Historically, vocations in racial justice have drawn upon lifelong commitments of energized practitioners across several generations, whether in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the National Urban League (NUL) or in innumerable other international, national or local organizations. Drawing from the intellectual resources from the many schools within the university, a curriculum for training vocational activists and scholars could prepare future leaders with a broad-based competency across otherwise disparate disciplines. These subjects would speak specifically to ongoing and emergent issues important to the goals of racial justice, which in turn could provide models for social justice work more broadly. The broad objective and goals of this project are to design, develop and sustain a structured, systematic and holistic teaching/learning experience from which a Trans-disciplinary Activist/Practitioner/Scholar (TAPS) emerges.
